Cancer of the Esophagus and Receiving Social Security Disability

Your cells are the building blocks of your body. This is where cancer originates. When your body is working properly, old cells die at the right time and new cells are formed to replace them. However, sometimes, things go wrong. Old cells do not die when they ought to and new cells are formed even when your body does not need them.
This results in an excess amount of cells, which may produce a mass (tumor). This is how cancer begins. If the mass is malignant, it is cancer. If the tumor is benign, it is not cancer.
Cancer is much larger than a single disease. It is a huge group of diseases. Cancer is marked by cells that are invasive (they invade and destroy adjacent tissue), aggressive (they grow and divide without respect to normal limits) and sometimes metastatic (they spread to other parts of the body).
Cancer of the esophagus is one of the many forms of cancer. It starts in your esophagus. Your esophagus is the hollow muscular tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach.
Fortunately, cancer of the esophagus is rare in the United States. It affects less than 5 in every 100,000 people. It occurs most often in men who are over the age of 50.
Cancer of the esophagus begins when cells in your esophagus become defective. They mutate and divide and grow out of control. However, no one knows exactly what causes this process to take place.
Researchers believe that if there is ongoing (chronic) irritation of your esophagus, this may contribute to the occurrence of this disease. There are several things that can irritate your esophagus. These include:

Like many forms of cancer, cancer of the esophagus does not usually cause any signs or symptoms until it is advanced. Possible signs and symptoms are:

Fatigue

Unintentional weight loss

Vomiting blood

Chest pain that is not related to eating

Heartburn

Difficulty swallowing solids or liquids

Regurgitation (the backward movement of food through your esophagus and mouth.

If this is the case, you may need assistance. You may need financial help.
